Dell Precision M65 - IDE device failed error code: 4E0F:065D
My wife has a Dell Precision M65 laptop that recently started blue screening on boot.
The S.M.A.R.T. long and short tests both fail and the error from Dell is 4E0F:065D IDE Device Failed.
Is there anything I can do to get in and save anything that may not have been backed up?

USB enclosures are just little cases that you put the hard drive in that connect to USB ports.
For your drive, you would want a case for a 2.5" SATA drive, since that's what you've got in the laptop.
See, for example, this one:

$9.99. You put the hard drive in it, you connect it by USB cable to the USB port on another machine, and voila, it's an external drive for the other machine. You should then (hopefully) be able to read most or all of the data from it, and copy the data onto the other machine.

...h yes - you can verify then by running the disk diag again....

I booted up with the Live Knoppix disc but can't find/access my files/hard drive? When I click on what looks like the hard drive, I get the error Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device
Also, how can I run HDD regenerator without being able to boot into XP?

because you make a bootable cd with it !
but i would downoload the ubcd, and run the disk diag to confirm the bad status : http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
note that HDDregenerator cannot repair a scratched surface, or mechanical problems

Nobus,
Burning ubcd, what specifically do you suggest I run from those utilities? Based on you previous reply and the list of tools, I'm not sure which to run.
Thanks

it depends on the disk brand; always use the manufacturer's tool
